this was from a contact that I knew, so anyone could have it. Apparently it sends itself without the person knowing. The whole time my contact was "out to lunch"

 

so if one of your contacts sends you that, DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK. you will download a virus on your computer.

 

edit: there, now the link is disabled. and I didn't know about exe, axe or all that shit

[Mikes_Shadow]

My friend has something like that on her computer.. its really annoying

[Hyper]

well if you're stupid enough to run an executable file the person said was a picture... you deserve it.

[Brkng_Th_Hbt]

lets hope nobody clicks the link on this thread.. that would suck. maybe you should disable them.

[Hyper]

lol, didn't think about that.. but yeah.. dude.. just put "URL here" for the url instead of the actual thing lmao.

[woodyloveslinkin]

thanks dude. : thumbsup :

[VinnyTheory]

MSN viruses suck, there has been loads going round

[stupidsoul1]

[uwantme2b]

Thanks for the warning. I hadn't heard of that before.

hey, like I said this was someone I knew. You should be thankful I'm telling you this instead of acting like a bitch

[LPDarkAngel]

well that never happened to me

[Hyper]

LMAO!!!!!!!!

 

 

'Tis all I got to say about that!

[4everLP_Shinoda]

Thanx for that one MrRandomGuy,damn it!!I remember it happened 2 me once :o=_=.

[Crawling]

i can say that : viruses are crappy alil

[o0SugaxNxSpice0o]

It is pretty much common sense not to link on files ending with ".exe", let alone click on a link by someone you don't know =D It's not just that name. There are a million virus bots out there and they really are annoying. Yahoo chat being the worse! Just remember to run spybot and adaware or something every so often to check you didn't pick anything up and your computer will be fine.

Damn was that close, that happened to me yesterday, i "almost" downloaded it. But the guy who sent that msg to me said it was doing it automatically. He said the same thing happened to him and he downloaded it. So i told him to run the NAV, and delete that file, if it came up, but now he said it was ok now.

 

Also even without downloading anything, i ran my NAV and a MSN Messenger virus came up, but i deleted it.

[LinkinPark924]

grr... theres so many weird msn viruses these days... this girl i have on my contact list kept sending me something where you accept and it downloads on your computer. it said like, "Jennifer Lopez" or "Ass in a Bottle" or something like that lmfao. I fell for it. I had a virus blocker thing though. I blocked her but she still kept sending the virus to me!!!

[FadedBlue]

OMG,I GOT THAT!!!

I think, cuz i clicked it*stupid me* and it saved itself on my computer, and now,everytime i start my computer, this thingy pops up and it says,you must have your disc checked,or something.

Eh...you better run Norton Anti-Virus 2005 if you have it. Try to delete it.

[Suicide King]

Ugh, it bothers me how people can be so irresponsible when using their computers. Remember, NEVER CLICK LINKS FROM PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW! Much less if the file extension is .exe :roll:

virus sends it to people on the msn contact list that is logged on on an infected computer. so the person sending wouldn't know they were sending, and the person receiving would know the sender (in a way)

 

Useful bit of knowledge:

 

it just takes common sense, and basic knowledge of file extensions. virus' can only be injected from files that are like *.exe and *.bat those are the only two that i know of. if someone says it's a picture, and it's .exe use common sense lol. .exe stands for executable, meaning it starts it and voila, you're fucked. .bat is microsoft batch file, these are files that are highly at risk of infection.

[MrRandomGuy]

i finally figured out how to delete it.

 

you have to find the file and it wouldn't let me put it in the recycle bin, so I put it on the desktop and restarted the computer in safe mode. Then, I set the computer to restart at an earlier time of day and I was able to delete it then.
